NetID Account

What is it?

The University of Illinois assigns all students, faculty, and staff a unique NetID. Your NetID is your username for many computing resources and is the first part of your Illinois email address. For more information, see
Your Network ID.

How do I activate it?

You must claim your NetID
before you are able to use it. You will have the option of setting up
security questions which you can use to access your account in the
event you forget your password.

What is it used for?

What do I do if I've forgotten my password?

If you've set up security questions, you can log in by answering your questions. You will then need to reset your NetID password. If you did not set up security questions, please contact the GSLIS Help Desk.
